 Brian, obviously a lot has happened since the last time we spoke and just kind of take us through the trade. How did it come about and when did you know it was the right deal for you? Yeah, it materialized here in the last 72 hours. You know, once Minnesota got kind of full effort. We had been engaging them on a lot of different permutations of things. And so that was a new wrinkle in it. We struck out with Texas and then and we're able to find a, you know, obviously a creative deal that works for both sides that included other players. So, you know, we're excited because we feel it upgrades us at third short improves our, you know, the player that we had in labor at second. You know, we have a lot of versatility from it. So I think it settled out a lot of business needs. Wides with one transaction and hopefully the biggest thing is that hopefully it benefits us for the long haul. And we have a, you know, increased chance of taking a shot at the title. You've known Gary Sanchez since he was 16 years old. He's always been a part of this organization. Just how difficult was it to part ways with him? It was difficult, you know, Gary, you know, again, we go way back, you know, right from when he was an amateur and and he's grown up in this system. He's he'll be Yankee for life and he's, you know, he's been a good Yankee. He's helped us in a lot of ways and he's should be very proud of the career he's had thus far and and and where he kind of ranks in the catching history for the Yankees, especially in the offensive side. And so, but it was tough. It was a tough call to make and, you know, to say goodbye to someone you've been involved with for so long. And but that's also part of the unfortunate side of of the business sports, right? And so he gets a better opportunity now to start fresh. It's his free agent walk year. I wouldn't be surprised if he see, you know, again, he was hungry to have a big year this year for us. And and I'm sure he'll be, you know, even hungrier now to prove his worth in Minnesota. Josh Donaldson and Garrett Cole had a little bit of a riff last year. How do you think he'll fit into that clubhouse? Yeah, I mean, maybe it's something we need. You know, he's got he's got a little he's got a chip that he brings every day. It seems like I've seen him from afar. He's a, you know, an uber competitor that's not afraid. And, you know, that's that's something that maybe we are lacking. I don't know. I'm not saying that we're we're afraid of anything as much as but he's definitely got an edge to him. And so we have a lot of talent. Maybe we need a little bit more edge. Maybe that type of personality is is going to be good for us. We'll see, but we're excited to have him on our side of the fence now more so than having to to watch him defend against us at third or certainly those four or five played appearances against our pitchers because he's been recon havoc for quite some time. You know, the big thing for him is health clearly. Obviously he's had a history of half issues over the course of time. But I think last year he posted 130 games with 26 bombs and and 800 plus OPS. And and so the man when he's healthy can do a lot more than what we've been dealing with in the past and we appreciate what Gio's done. But but he's not Josh Donaldson. Do you see First Base as an area of need? Is that something you are still trying to upgrade? Yeah, I mean, First Base is an area that we're open minded to like any of the positions we have in the field. We have a lot of players that get asked about. We currently have Luke Void who looks good now. He's obviously recovered from his surgery and then, you know, DJ LaMay you can play there. So we at first is covered. But my job is to see if I can do anything that makes more sense. And so with that being said, you know, I'm going to be I'm going to be working the phones with some done with the press. Do you feel like you still have some flexibility financially? We do. But also at the same time, we, you know, we have a lot of players here. So, you know, we could be importing and exporting simultaneously. So we'll just wait and see how it plays out. We have the Steinberg family's made a big time commitment to this roster in the payroll already. And so it's not limited limitless. But but we're going to continue to try to find ways to improve it. You had mentioned DJ LaMay you. How do you see him fitting into the mix this year? Well, I mean, first and foremost, healthy. When he's healthy, he's a stud, you know, prior to this past season, a perennial MVP candidate. But obviously, once he had the herniate surgery that that was the recognition of this is what's been going on with the guy. And that prevented him from being the best version of himself. So, so second, first, third, you know, when we signed him, that was, you know, the beauty of this guy. He can really hit and he's athletic and plays a lot of different spots. And so we knew he would be a very versatile playing every day guy. And I think it's up to Aaron Boone to decide what's best for us and where. When you look at the catching situation now, do you feel as though Kyle Higashioka could be the everyday guy or is that going to be more of a split? You know, that's Aaron Boone's call. I mean, going into it, we know him. So I would think he's the everyday guy and we'll get to know Ben and whether it becomes a platoon situation or a 70-30 or however they, that's all, that'll all sort itself out. You know, it's survival of the fittest, right? You know, whoever emerges shall be victorious. And so, but we know Kyle, you know, so I assume he'd be the guy and pass that. I'm open minded to continue to look to see if there's a way to improve our roster regardless. Since this lockout ended, how much have you slept? How insane has this been for you trying to get a roster complete here? It's been like drinking out of a fire hose. There's no doubt about that. I mean, you know, once things opened up, it was, you know, we certainly, you know, gathered within our front office. I divided duties up between Mike Fishman and Gene Afterman and Matt Ferry, you know, you know, we work all very well together. But between agents and clubs, we've had to, you know, strategically decide who's got relationships where and then let's go. And so it's worked well so far because it's led us to something. But I got more work to do to make sure we don't miss opportunities. Do you feel confident in this roster as is? I never feel confident, right? You know, I think in my job, it's best to feel that way. I know we have a lot of talent and we know we have a great team, but but is it great enough? And that's that's the wrinkle.
